That's not "nostalgic old man" talking, I'm 53 and mainstream music is infinitely better and more interesting than it was when I was 18.
Once the 80s were out of the way everything pretty much referred back to a classic, retro tonal pallette, not just guitar music, but even hip hop and electronica.

Happy Days!
I certainly agree that music is at least as good and as interesting now as at any time in the past, contrary to the usual belief.

Where does that leave the real artists ? How can you make an impact when one of the main metrics ~ the ability to actually sing well, has been removed?

Merry Christmas Everybody is 44 years old.
All right now is 47 years old.
Too many things in my own life remind me of the passage of time ... house moves, work changes, family changes, etc.
But measuring time by events not involving myself, I'm thinking the Falklands War in 1982 as one such instance. The Vulcan mission is one of my favourite military missions of all-time. Near everyone said it was impossible, yet the British RAF did it. Awesome. The Argies never knew what hit them. (No apologies to the Argentinians, who should have known better than to mess with Thatcher's Britain). When was it? 1982, some 35 years ago!!!! I was kicking around at school dreaming of scud missiles at the time listening to Baggy Trousers, but not quite having discovered Pink Floyd. And it's been 52 years since they formed. Now think back 52 years from 1966, and the First World War had just kicked off.
So much has come and gone in my lifetime (I'm not quite as old as Floyd, but about the same age as The Piper at the Gates of Dawn). The saddest part about the Floyd, is reading their Wikipedia entry "Pink Floyd were ...". Not are, but were. Seeing the demise of people, heroes, groups, things, foods etc that featured prominently in my younger years dropping out of circulation brings a tear to the eye. We'll never see, hear or taste their like again. And that's probably the hardest part in coping with time.

I say presumably because I believe it is very very difficult to make digital archive media that will withstand the passage of hundreds or thousands of years.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Argies? LOL
I don't know - my girlfriend's sister is a teenager and likes nirvana, and was surprised to find out how old the album was.
Although it is somewhat of its time - perhaps it is just indicative that the dual rec was the last big progress.
I would say, though, that the digital bands have a "new" sound - bands like periphery (try Prayer Position" and protest the hero (try Yellow Teeth) have a sound that I'm not sure would be possible with a solid state or valve amp.
